Already, her blog entries from the conference and the first article to come out of the conference proceedings have me waiting with great anticipation for more. Here's some of what she's shared so far:
- Greetings from Chicago - the American Headache Society Conference. This is a fun post where Teri shares a video of her "remote headquarters."
Reporting from Chicago - A new Migraine abortive in trials. Merck has released results from their Phase II trials of MK-0974, an investigational oral calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antagonist. Teri spoke with Dr. Tony Ho, senior director of Clinical Neuroscience for Merck Research Laboratories to give us a great report on what's happening with this new medication. It looks very hopeful, even for Migraineurs with a history of heart or stroke issues!
- Back from the American Headache Society conference! Ever wonder what some of the "famous" doctors we read about look like? Teri has shared some super photos of a few of them.
To Teri -- Thank you, as always, for looking out for all of us and sharing so much valuable information. Oh, and a belated happy birthday!
Shalom,
Abi

I too have had migraines, since very young age. I used to get aura, but had no idea what it was. Two of my three children have inherited migraines, though none get aura. I occasionally have posts on my blog related to migraine.

Hi, Dino,
Yes, I have tried ergot tartrate tabs. Unfortunately, they did little for me. These days, I have very few Migraines, and a dose of Maxalt or Zomig gets rid of them in no time.
One thing to remember though is that although treatment can greatly reduce the number of Migraines we have, there isn't a cure yet.

Catmum,
Thanks for sharing your blog! I love to see what other Migraineurs are writing.
Best,
Abi
